Conservative activists pulled off a daring stunt Friday in Los Angeles — and it left the CEO of CNN furious.
The right-wing activist group known as The Faction scaled the column of a towering billboard outside of the CNN headquarters and put up a satirical message for the so-called “most trusted name in news.”
“Keep Korea divided” the sign read as it stood at the corner of Sunset and Cahuenga Boulevards.
The billboard featured the CNN hallmark logo, reimagined by the conservative artists to read as the “Communist News Network” next to a photo of CEO Jeff Zucker.

The billboard was inspired by the network’s nasty bias in covering President Donald Trump’s summit with North Korea, according to The Hollywood Reporter (THR). An anonymous member of The Faction spoke to THR about the truth that CNN is hiding from the American people.
“When Trump speaks glowingly of Hong Kong Un it’s a tactic,” he said. “Zucker and his journo-activists know this, but are more than willing to try to torpedo the summit – the future of the long-suffering North and South Korean people be damned.”
CNN spent very little time on the latest U.S.-North Korean relations development after Trump shut the door on a terrible deal.
The billboard may have come as a shock to the Los Angeles commuters, but the conservative activists have been making waves for some time now in Los Angeles. Far-left late night television hosts such as Bill Maher and John Oliver have been targets of The Faction in the past, proof that the group is on a mission to expose anti-Trump prejudice.
From the looks of it, the mission is going to include some hilarity. The group often compare liberals to “Non-Player Characters” (NPCs) from video games, who are only capable of repeating the lines programmed into them by the game masters.
